Description

In the Barracks the boisterous youth is instructed to become keen fighters. Your soldiers know how to handle swords, spears and catapults and are also able to lead the mightiest war machines safely over the field.

Higher level Barracks can train units faster.

New look

The Barracks is getting a new look, in patch 0.5.0.

Expansion Details

Note: The time it takes to upgrade to the next level is determined by the following formula:

{Build~time~in~seconds=({\frac {25200}{11}}\times 1.1^{Level}-1728)}

{ ~rounded ~to ~the ~nearest ~whole ~second }

Level 1 does not follow this formula, as its build time was shortened when it was added to the in-game tutorial.

Expansion details

Research and Reduction Building bonuses are shown in the following charts by mousing-over over the research abbreviations (P – G – SL – MR) in the chart.

Each type of land Unit has a Minimum Barracks Level : only Barracks which have been upgraded to that level or higher can train that unit. Upgrades above the minimum barracks level for that unit will reduce training time for that unit.

Training Times

Formula


${Training\ time\ =\ 0.95\ ^{\left(Current\ Barracks\ level\ -\ Minimum\ Barracks\ level\ for\ the\ Unit\right)}\times \ Base\ build\ time\ for\ the\ Unit}$

Notes

The highest level needed to build all Units is level 14.
- Raising the Barracks to higher levels will reduce the Training time for all units.
Most troops require research to build even if you have the level needed for them.
